IEEE Signal Processing Cup (SP Cup) 2022
Challenge at ICASSP 2022
'Synthetic Speech Attribution'


The IEEE Signal Processing Society is proud to announce the ninth edition of the Signal Processing Cup:

a forensic challenge related to synthetic speech attribution.
 

Goal

The possibility of manipulating digital multimedia objects is within everyone's reach. For instance, fake

synthetic speech audio tracks can be generated through a wide variety of available methods. These

range from simple cut-and-paste techniques, to complex neural networks. The goal of the challenge

is to design and develop a system for synthetic speech attribution. This means, given an audio recording

representing a synthetically generated speech track, to detect which method among a list of candidate ones

has been used to synthesize the speech.
 

Eligibility

Any team composed of one faculty member, at most one graduate student and 3 to 10 undergraduate

students is welcomed to join the open competition. At least 3 students must be IEEE Student Members.
 

Dataset

A dataset containing audio speech tracks generated with different speech synthesis techniques will be

distributed to the participants.


Prize

The three teams with highest performance in the open competition will be selected as finalists and will be

invited to participate in the final competition at ICASSP 2022. The champion team will receive a grand prize

of $5,000. The first and the second runner-up will receive a prize of $2,500 and $1,500, respectively,

in addition to travel grants and complimentary conference registrations.

General information and resources are available on Piazza. To set up a free account, use the access code

'spcup2022' to join as a student the “SPCUP 2022: IEEE Signal Processing Cup 2022” class.


Organizers

The challenge is organized as a joint effort between the Image and Sound Processing Lab (ISPL) of the

Politecnico di Milano (Milan, Italy) and the Multimedia and Information Security Lab (MISL) of the Drexel

University (Philadelphia, USA).
 
The ISPL team is represented by Dr. Paolo Bestagini (Assistant Professor), Dr. Fabio Antonacci (Assistant

Professor), Clara Borrelli (Ph.D. Student) and Davide Salvi (Ph.D. Student).
 
The MISL lab is represented by its founder Dr. Matthew C. Stamm (Associate Professor) and

Brian Hosler (Ph.D. student).
